Carita Feliz Wonderschool

Our Teachers

Hello! I am Adriana Guzman, the founder of Carita Feliz Wonderschool. I was inspired to start my own program because I have loved working with children since I was young and always wanted to find a way to work with kids in my work. I have 18 years of experience working with young children.

Philosophy

At Carita Feliz Wonderschool, we want children to learn in both English and Spanish so that they can communicate in both languages! We teach kids to be respectful and how to share with their friends so that they are able to form lasting relationships.

Location

Carita Feliz Wonderschool is located in a beautiful, inviting single family home in the Pinole neighborhood.

Our space has a main activity area, a separate area for nap time, and a large backyard where kids will spend lots of time outdoors exploring and running around having fun! Our space has a sandbox, dramatic play areas and lots of manipulative toys.

At Carita Feliz Wonderschool, I want to provide a space where kids have lots of room to dance and play!

About our program

Carita Feliz is a Spanish -English bilingual child care program. Research shows that there are many benefits of learning a second language for children, especially in early education.

Cognitive benefits of bilingual and language immersion early care

• Children who attend bilingual preschool have a better ability to monitor their immediate environment compared to monolinguals. They exhibit more mental flexibility and a stronger ability to switch between tasks (also known as ‘working memory’)
• Children who attend bilingual preschool show increased self-regulation skills
